Interesting so far. I want to see more drawings become reality but I suppose that is coming. Especially now that we have a proper villain to use them against.

ugh, she just littered lots of rubber balloons. Lookup Balloonfest 1986 and the trouble it caused.

I anticipated it would turn dark but that soon?

 

[Archomp]

You need a hero? Nah, you need an adult... not that adult reeeee!!!

 

[bluecookies]

If you didn't know who A-10 was before, you can probably guess what else he draws by now.

I rather like the premise of all this. Magic that involves turning drawings into reality? A magical girl-esque motif? A fairly dark spin to everything? Pretty interesting overall. Not entirely sure what's up with all the panty shots on Red Riding Hood, but they don't seem all that sexualized so it's not that bad I suppose. Shows how coarse a person she is, I guess?

Wakaba is all heart though and I think she'll carry the series in terms of character. I'm always a sucker for these kinds of characters, especially when they go through their weak willed arc early on and overcome it quickly. The bits with the balloons were nicely done as well. I hope she saves Thumbelina soon cause that man was super creepy.

Always need one pervert, or six.

 

[ZombiesAreNotOkay]

Leave that loli alone!!!

 

[Nogoodnms]

Can we not? Can we not have some sick fuck that has to torture children for two seconds?

 

[yarielist]

...
I agree adding pervert in some series ...
BUT NOT A SADISTIC EVIL CRUEL PERVERT WHO TORTURE LOLI !

 

[Nick86]

Nice, thanks for the update, bland and clichè start but overtiem can be a good ride.

 

[77BLc9JwJGpLVARkamJx]

I dont think that loli is making a scared face there lol.

 

[Lithe]

Oh, so she's weak, but she's the strongest beast.

Can't wait for those developments to be fleshed out, except I really could do without them.

 

[DANDAN_THE_DANDAN]

If she really wanted to tell her granddaughter that she's a mage, all that she needed to do was draw something and pull it out to prove it-

BEGONE LOGIC!!!

 

[izayamikaelis]

...ah... another disgusting four eyed villain... they're giving the whole Glasses wearing character bad reputation!

 

[exxp]

whoa...!

 

[Pyoro]

"It's reacting to sound!" she yelled.

Promising first couple chapters w/ a charming heroine, a credibly nasty first arc villain, and some intriguing support characters. The art's nice art, too, and I quite like the sketch-magic concept.

Although other commenters have complained, I don't see anything too terribly illogical or cliched so far. That said, no new ground is being broken, and nothing yet elevates this above the large pack of other "better than average" heroic fantasy manga.

Bottom line: as a sucker for fairy tale crossovers, I'm on board - at least for now.
